Bug#1091770: blosxom: Intends for www-data:www-data owned files but they are root:root

[Niels Thykier]

Package: blosxom
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: ni...@thykier.net

Hi,


The debian/rules files explicitly lists two paths to be owned by `www-data`:

   chown www-data:www-data debian/blosxom/var/lib/blosxom/state
   chown www-data:www-data debian/blosxom/var/lib/blosxom/static






I do not use the package and have no stake in which solution is picked.

Best regards,
Niels

However, this is done before `dh_fixperms` is called, so the ownership is reverted back to `root:root` making these lines de facto redundant. If the `www-data` is desired, then please move it to `execute_after_dh_fixperms:` (compat 10) or `override_dh_fixperms:` (compat 9 or earlier). This was discovered while creating a patch for #1089295. But given no users seems to have complained, I suspect the ownership might be unnecessary.
